Typically predictable difference in reporting with wages and agent fees ignored. Mind you i am sure Agent fees only began with Haaland as everyone was so annoyed we got him for a fraction of his cost they were making things up as they went with fees etc.
So Dippers broke British transfer records galore from Dalglish, Rush (most expensive teenager), Collymore and no doubt many others inc Huge fees in the days for Keane, Crouch, Benteke, Carroll etc and under Klopp you have:
85 Million Nunez
75 Million VVD
52 Million keita
44 million Salah
30 Million Mane
25 Million Wijnaldum
35 Million Chamberlaine
44 Million Fabinho
70 Million Alisson
28 Million Thiago
45 Million Jota
50 Million Diaz
36 Million Konate
And over a dozen 5 to 15 million signings
Yet Klopp and the media go on that they are plucky underdogs and never spend anything
